Welcome to the one race you won’t want to end. A race so rock ‘n’ roll, the mile
markers are rock bands. Because what’s the point of running if you just want it to
end? Here, you might not break the tape, but the podium isn’t the point. Life is a
journey and running should be a celebration.

RUNNING TIPS FOR OPTIMAL TRAINING BY ELITE ATHLETE
MIRINDA “RINNY” CARFRAE
What’s your favorite thing about running?MC: “For me, running is relaxing, especially when you’re really fit. I do a lot of runs in the evening around sunset, which I find therapeutic. It’s time I have for myself, to focus on my own goals and thoughts.”
Any tips for new runners training for their first half or full marathon?MC: “It’s easy to get hung up on your pace and how fast or slow you’re going. I find that focusing on the overall time you spend running rather than the number of miles takes the pressure off of worrying about the distance and pace. Be sure you have a training plan. Mapping it out really helps you focus on the smaller goals to take the necessary steps to condition your body and best prepare for race day. And most of all, be smart about your training and listen to your body.”
How do you break through the mental and physical blocks?MC: “When I’m tired or feeling down run down, I try to think positive thoughts, knowing that all of the training will be worth it and pay off on race day. I find it helps to focus on the little things when you start to hit the wall…breathing, pacing, hydrating and fueling properly. While it’s important to keep your eye on the end goal, be sure to have small check points along the way. Overall, I prefer to know I gave it my best and gave 100%. You’ll notice it becomes second nature to push through the bumps in training.”
Long distance runners lose a lot of sweat and necessary nutrients making recovery crucial to building muscle and staying physically strong. Any tips on how to best recover after a long run? MC: “The 30 minutes right after strenuous exercise is the most crucial time to recover and replenish what you’ve lost. Lowfat chocolate milk is a great and easy option and I’ve been recovering with it for years. You can find it anywhere, from your supermarket or corner store, and it has the right mix of carbohydrates and high quality protein. It’s also got your electrolytes, sodium, potassium; elements you lose when you’re sweating. It’s a great little formula, and wholesome, simple and lowfat.”

28 ROCK ‘N’ ROLL DC MARATHON & ½ MARATHON
The Monuments and the National Mall: Steeped in history and revered by all, the miles sur-rounding the National Mall are a must see for any runner. In a short run, you can see the White House, the Capitol and all the monuments.
Mount Vernon Trail: Located just across the river from down-town Washington, D.C., is a multi-use recreation trail. Nearly 18 miles long and right along the Potomac River, this flat and easy to find trail offers breathtaking views of the river and the D.C. monuments.
Rock Creek Park: Another paved bike path is the Rock Creek and Potomac Parkway, which runs past Dupont Circle, through the National Zoo, and onward. Much of it is shaded and offers a much needed escape from a mostly urban city. May be a great bet for a Sunday run!
C&O Canal/Capital Crescent: A flat, crushed gravel path that runs for more than 100 miles to the northwest, well into Maryland. Every mile is marked, which is great for getting splits on your runs or deciding when to turn around. Both trails lead straight into the heart of Georgetown, which offers an abundance of dining options!
Capital Crescent Trail: This rail-trail was built upon the abandoned rail bed of the 11-mile Georgetown Branch of the B&O Railroad. The trail is paved from Georgetown to Bethesda (approximately 7 miles), then becomes a temporary gravel trail from Bethesda to Rosemary Hills in west Silver Spring. Four bridges and two tunnels offer trail users gentle gradients and grade-separated roadway crossings. The trail closes at dusk (open to com-muters). To reach the trail, take the DC Circulator’s Dupont Circle to Georgetown and Rosslyn .
D.C. RUNNING SPOTSRunning Locations
If your sights are set on seeing all the Nation’s Capital has to offer, there is no better way than on foot.
